Former England captain Nasser Hussain has opined that Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant coming in to bat at no.6 in the forthcoming five-match Test series against England may be one place too high for the batsman. Despite his recent exploits, Hussain feels that no.6 is not the ideal position for the 23-year-old in English conditions. Rishabh Pant at six in England is one place too high. Pant tested positive for the virus during the team's 20-day break post the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton. While batting at no.6 in Tests, Pant has played 14 innings in 12 matches, scoring 580 runs at an average of 44.61.
